Hi Mom, Send Money!

That slide was comical.

Nice throw, Mitch.

More good stuff from Marwin!

 

Oh, and good pick by Sano.

Nice play, Marwin.

Caught stealing second 2-5.

Hi Mom, Send Money!

Hi Damon Hollins^*, Send Nicky Lopez!

Well, Garver made contact.

The number of pitches that hit Garver's glove, bit don't stay there, always astounds me. Stone hands.

 

I put the over/under at 3.5 per game and play a game with myself.

Soler is pretty good. That said, all of this is moot if the offense just wakes up.

 

HEY!

 

HEY!

 

OFFENSE!

 

WAKE UP!!!!

Probably three innings for Jake today.

They're wearing the navy uniforms today, not the Norwegian blues.

Although I'm guessing Odorizzi's pitching outing will soon be pining for the fjords.

 

I say this seriously. At some point do with think about bringing in Willians Astudillo? Or at the very least rotating him in to see if he can get on base regularly? 

I'd love to see Willians taking some of Garver's at-bats. No snark. Bring 'em up.

Jesus that scared me.

I just don't understand this guy. Excellent at tracking the ball with his eye. Very little common sense, when at the point of making the catch. Few players look the same way when running for the ball, few look the same way at the end.

With guys on base, or no? Seems like when there's nobody on base, it makes little difference. Unless, of course the umpire is unable to distinguish balls from strikes based on the catcher catching the ball.

Jumps look cool.

Tell him what he's won!

Chicks dig the almost-long-ball

With guys on base, or no?

yes.

C'mon Nelson, make them pay for that missed foul.

Surprised Odorizzi threw so many off-speed pitches. He had enough velocity, but not great command.

C'mon Nelson, make them pay for that missed foul.

Woah. I called one!

 

Boom Stick!!

NELLY BOMB!!!!

CRUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missed that today is National Baseball Card Day. What were (are) your favorites? 

 

For me, 1974 was the first year I was old enough to get any cards, and when my brother came home for Christmas from his first year of college, he asked me if I had a Rod Carew. He had one for me.
